osCommerce

The e-commerce.

SSL installed but links don't work any more

Hello,

I am building an OSCommerce site for a customer. Their current site is on the hosting space and has index.html which is what appears if you just type the domain in. That's what I want for now, while I'm getting the new site all set up and configured. The new site lives in the site root too but of course the home page is index.php so will only show in a browser if I type that in at the end of the domain.

 

I got my hosting company to install the SSL certificate last Thursday. Today I sat down and started altering the config files to get everything hooked up right. I had a few probs and a bit of trial and error and have spent most of the day looking at the various instructions on the forum.

 

I thought it was all sorted, but I wanted it so that if someone typed in http://websitename.co.uk it would automatically go to https://websitename.co.uk and this wasn't happening. However when I physically typed in the https it seemed to be working.

 

I got on to the hosting company and they told me to put this in the .htaccess file:

ReWriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com [L,R]

 

So I did this and it seemed to work! if you just type http://websitename.co.uk it goes to https://...etc and if I put

http://websitename.co.uk/index.php then my OSC home page comes up and it's got the https:// in the address bar.

 

Trouble is, when I click on any links on the home page menu it just goes straight to the current homepage, index.html

There are other .htaccess files throughout the site - should I have altered these too?

 

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please? PLease be gentle - I'm a noob!

 

Many thanks

Allison

try the following code in your .htaccess file

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.domain.com/%{REQUEST_URI}

8 people out of 10 don't bother to read installation manuals. I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself.

Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues.

as you can see from above after slash any request.

 

this is cased by incorrect setup of configure.php file (simply check paths)
